No, no, the "Do you have five minutes for Barack Obama?" clipboard-wielders are incredibly obnoxious.
That's another problem: if the average campaign knows that time is cheaper than money, they waste time relative to money. And the only effective way to overspend time in politics is to spend other people's time, too. We would have fewer street hasslers, push-pollsters, banner-wavers, etc. if we just treated time the way we treat money, and limited everyone to ten hours of thinking about politics per election cycle.
- vaksel 18y agoJust tell them you already support him and they'll go away. I had one of those guys going door to door asking for donations, so I just told them I donated $2,300 to Obama already and they left me alone. I got rid of them within 1 minute, and they didn't feel awkward by trying to persuade someone to give when they don't want to. I actually don't plan to vote this election, my state will go Democrat no matter what, so if I do go to throw my vote away, I'll just throw it to Liberterians.
